Admission is included in a small shared group of up to six; expect standing, enclosed spaces and narrow corridors. 4.92 from 65 reviews at €167 per person for 2h 30m. ## Overview The Churchill War Rooms are more than a collection of historic rooms — they are the place where some of the most consequential decisions of the Second World War were made. Led by a professional historian, this 2.5-hour tour brings the underground headquarters to life through the people who worked here: from Churchill and his commanders to the typists, telephonists, secretaries and map officers who kept Britain's wartime government running. Explore the Cabinet Room, Map Room and Churchill's personal quarters while discovering the arguments, personalities and pressures behind the decisions made here. We'll examine Churchill's remarkable rise to Prime Minister, how Britain coordinated a global war from beneath the streets of London, and the realities behind the familiar story of Britain's “finest hour.” With a small group, there's plenty of opportunity to ask questions and explore the complexities of Churchill, his government and the war they were fighting. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meet your guide at the statue of Field… - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - Starts 09:45, 13:45: 2 departures a day - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Children from €119: ages 5 to 15 ## Key facts - Price: from €167 per person - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.92/5 from 65 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 98% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: How to do History ## What's included - Admission to Churchill War Rooms - Small group experience (maximum 6 guests) - 2.5-hour guided tour with a professional historian ## Itinerary 1. **Churchill War Rooms** (1h 45m; admission included) - Step inside the secret underground headquarters where Churchill and his government directed Britain's war effort during the Second World War.
